Although the colours are quite vibrant, I thought the range of tone in this image worked well in B&W.  HOSTED PHOTO please log in to view hosted photos in full size.

It was late afternoon (~4:30), and I also liked the harsh shadows; especially those coming through the slated balcony. my website: Light & Shadow

It was late afternoon (~4:30), and I also liked the harsh shadows; especially those coming through the slated balcony. Gail & Jim: As for colour vs. b&w I've always prefered images in colour. I am trying to improve my b&w photography in order to improve my ability to see different tones in a scene rather than just different colours. Most of the images I make seem to be too busy for b&w so that's something I'll have to look at in the future. Thank you for the responses  Interesting point about B & W vs color. It seems to me that with monochrome you are forced into keeping the composition simpler because of not having color as the #1 discriminant (the yellow airplane in the deep blue sky, or the red hat in a sea of black hats, etc.).
